Synopsis

Strengthen your ear for harmony with a practical, ear-first approach. This study guides readers through the science, physiology, and psychology behind music, focusing on how we actually hear and understand chords, scales, and melodies.

In this edition, the author presents harmony as an integrated art that combines acoustics, ear function, and emotional meaning. It offers clear methods to train the ear to hear tonal relationships in ensembles, not as isolated notes. Readers will learn how triads, diatonic chords, and modulation fit into real musical practice, with emphasis on practical exercises and memory work.

• Foundational ideas across physics, physiology, and psychology that shape how harmony is taught and heard.


• Step-by-step training that builds from basic harmonic and melodic relationships to more advanced concepts like modulation.


• Hands-on exercises that emphasize ear development, symbolization, and keyboard practice from musical symbols rather than written notes.


• Guidance on creating varied, functional accompaniments and avoiding common part-writing pitfalls.

Ideal for students and players who want a grounded, perceptual approach to harmony and ear training.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

After many years of experience in the teaching of harmony along the lines usually followed in presenting the subject, the author has come to feel an intense need for a presentation that would meet the demands of the lesser talent as well as the great talent a presentation which would seek to edify the student by appealing to his musical consciousness through the ear, and by means of that experience to equip him with the power to hear what he writes. The opportunity presented itself when the Institute of Musical A rt, inN ew York City, came into existence; it is, therefore, with warmest gratitude that the author acknowledges, not only the kindness, but the unqualified trust which the director of the I nstitute, Dr. Frank Damrosch, has shown in permitting the initial presentation of aural harmony. The high standard of musical study, as carried on at the Institute of Musical A rt, has been a great stimulus in working out and in bringing to fruition this new subject. The author also wishes to extend his thanks toM r. Thomas Tapper for his kindness in reviewing and criticising the subject-matter and the form of presentation of this book. It is hoped that the treatise will be accepted in the spirit in which it has been written, namely, a sincere effort to present the subject of harmony in a more useful and tangible form and, thereby, to make it more applicable and adaptable to all the fields of musical experience.
